I'm living my dream life, spending my days with my three sweet kids on the rocky coast of Maine...


boy2001 is a loveable 2nd grade LEGO brick master. An average week includes a round of golf, some time at the track with a smidgeon of Nintendo DS time.

boy 2001


girl2004 is a Care Bears enthusiast when she's not twirling to imaginary ballet, she's gleefully giggling to pink princess daydreams or requesting baking sessions.


girl2006 is an Elmo and Little People Fanatic, she insists on wearing tights and dresses everyday, as well as reading our 'I Love You' books everyday. She shares my love for Little House on the Prairie.


My personal goals are to go back to school for my Masters, possibly in Library Studies or Biblical Languages.


Smokey is our playful pup, half chihuahua, half rat terrier he's a handsome dog, although very good with the children Smokey does have his issues!


Chexter is our roborovski hamster, over a year old he's recently started to nip a little!

boy2001: The Dangerous Days of Daniel X book review

woot! finished reading The Dangerous Days of Daniel X with boy2001 just now.  Let me start off by saying, I LOVE the idea and premise of this book!  Getting boys to read is not the easiest thing to do, stories are often too frilly or just “boring” to them, getting the right mix of substance [...]

toys: no lead paint, no wait

Did your parents go to extraordinary lengths to get you the must have toys?  To my knowledge my mother did once, she braved a store to get me a cabbage patch doll.  Now, the next thing I am going to say is sure to ruffle some feathers, I didn’t even want it.

I don’t recall EVER asking for a specific toy.  [...]

Doodle Doug keeps kids busy, bargain @ Toys R us

My kids have been loving Doodle Doug, we’ve seen the commercials for so long. I finally broke down when girl2004 went to redeem her $3 birthday coupon.  Doodle Doug was marked down to about $5 so I was expecting to pay $2.xx out of pocket and very happy with that situation.  [...]

WonderFall Vacation at the Beaches

Once upon a time, a man and a lady spent lots of time away from home.  Beach trips, site seeing and club hopping topped the list.  Every few months they went on a new adventure to a distant land.  After 6 years of marriage boy2001 joined the family and the vacations turned into memories.  There were [...]

Favorite Kids Workbooks: Kumon

Boy2001 has gone through almost all of the Kumon line.  They’ve been fun, sometimes challenging but interesting and most of all educational.    Now that I’m looking for more workbooks for girl2004 I’m getting sticker shock!  I guess that’s why I’ve been hanging out at the dollar store so much, they’ve got some great workbooks [...]

June is Junie B. Jones Month

 

I’m just now getting the newsflash that June is Junie B. Jones month.  After a full school year of seeing these books in boy2001’s hand I’ve come to accept the fact that I may not always understand his reading choices. 

Maybe I should even care if it motivates him to get through a chapter book in [...]

oopsy Daisy! Cutie Pie Curlz Leave in Conditioner and Detangler Product Review

My little girls have cute but high maitenance curls.  Basically, I HAVE to shampoo their hair in the morning if I want them to have light bouncy curls.  If I wash at night and let them sleep on it, or even if I braid it, the result is the same, flattenned out, lackluster curls in [...]

If You Give a Pig a Pancake – AGAIN

I went through this with boy2001 and girl2004 and now girl2006 is totally obsessed with this book.  If You Give a Pig a Pancake by Laura Numeroff illustrated by Felicia Bond is adorable.  My kids didn’t care for the If You Give a Moose a Muffin but this one has become a classic in our house.  I [...]

That Baby DVD and CD Musical Notes

Do your children like to sing? Do they like you to sing?  During a recent moms meeting several moms revealed that their kids hated when they sang and asked them to stop.  I couldn’t believe it, my kids have always responded very well to my singing even though I can’t carry a note [...]
